Mummy’s Favourite #Netgalley
A absolutely gripping thriller, I read this book in one go. Not even for sleep could I put this book down. It’s a real page turner from the first page until the last. Sarah Flint is definitely a author to keep your eye on.Although I do have to be honest, I have read this book before when it was first released in hardback, it’s a truly harrowing book I liked Charlie Stafford investing officer. The torture parts of the book, made the hair on the back of your neck stand up, it was gruesome. I had to keep going I was addicted and wanted to know who the serial killer is. The characters especially the police investigation team, you got to know who they where, and the author just brought them alive. In some was it was almost as if you knew them as friends. It was a real pleasure to have a author bring characters to life in the way she did. Although the killer was creepy. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending this book to everyone who reads thriller killer books and everyone else, you must definitely definitely give this book a chance if you have never read any of her books then I suggest you should. Full praise to Sarah Flint, if my memory serves me well when I read this book before, I am sure it was a debut book. Fantastic for a debut.
I have already read and reviewed this book, assuming it may be being republished?
Because I have since read the rest of the series I chose not to re-read this edition.
A very enjoyable read! I was very interested in getting my hands on this one after I read the blurb and I am pleased to say that I was not let down.
The story is written very well and the characters are interesting and jump off the page. I would recommend this read!
Great book will be reading other books by this author.
Will also recommend this book to others.
Great read! 5***
This was another winner from Sarah Flint. I enjoy this authors writing style.....I was hooked from the first page and enjoyed every minute!
I am excited for her next book!
A woman and her son are missing and the husband is the obvious suspect. There has been reports of domestic violence and to top it all, the husband has taken his time to report them missing and has bleached the house from top to bottom before the police’s arrival to investigate.
But all is not as it seems. There is another mother and child missing.
Where are the missing people? Are they abducted by the same culprit? Are they alive? What is the motive behind the abductions?
This book was too disturbing and graphic for me, and let me tell you I have read and loved all Chris Carter’s books, which are way too graphic. But in this case, I felt the accounts of the abuse and murder to be arbitrary. Like the author just wanted to make the readers cringe, for the sake of just shocking them. In a word, it was nauseating!
Another issue was that the investigating team being a small group, still the author had managed to include a lesbian, a gay, an Indian, one black (I’m not quite sure about that one, cause my brain stopped functioning) and a divorced dude.
There were too many details and descriptions for unnecessary scenes. There were other cases which had nothing to do with the main mystery, and were all miraculously solved in the end. I guessed the identity of the culprit way too early in the book. Charlie, the main detective, is unlikeable. At one point, a defense lawyer is abducted and ‘Charlie can’t contain her smile, because she thinks the lawyer deserves it and it serves her right.’
Overall the writing wasn’t smooth.
Thanks to the author, Aria and the NetGalley for the book
A great story line with brilliant main characters.. I read this book in one sitting as I couldn't put it down.
Buried in a secluded woodland is a pit. Inside the pit is a mother and her child. One is alive and one is dead.
This book had me hooked from the first page and read it one sitting. I could not put this book down.
If you want a page turner and grips you from the first to last page then this is the book for you. Plus a really evil serial killer.
This book had me on the edge of my seat and I had no idea who the killer was until they were revealed and then it was still a shock. This is a new series with DC Charlie Stafford and DI Geoffrey Hunter and I can't wait to read more in this exciting and explosive crime series. A MUST READ for all readers of this genre. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
I would like the author, Aria and Netgalley for the advanced copy in return for giving an honest review.
DC 'Charlie' Stafford is assigned by her boss, DI Geoffrey Hunter are investigating a missing persons report. As more pairs go missing the pressure is mounting for them to find out whos doing it. A gripping, heart-stopping crime thriller, introducing new series character DC Charlotte 'Charlie' Stafford of London Metropolitan Police.
You can tell me when you have a good book just from reading the 1st page i feel. I new as soon as i started this book i was going to love it. Kept you gripped until the end. Lots of twists and turns to keep you interested.
Ty to Sarah Flint, and Netgalley for a copy of this book in return for a review
